i recently saw some video from a guy who said AU was a championship-caliber, major player program in every way but one... 'when it counts' As in we vomit-choke on the main stage. 2013 football. 2019, 2025 basketball. Baseball forever.
I was thinking about that when I watched Arkansas vomit-puke-gag-choke away the LSU game. There are no bigger chokers than the Hogs.
Take a two-run lead in the ninth. Choke-gag. Shortstop inexplicably eschews a tailormade double-play to end the game to make an awkward force out at third. Left fielder barf/gag/chokes a semi-inbetweener that should have been caught. LSU scores three runs, eliminates pigs.
